After many phone calls to the subscriptions dept, trying to find out where the stove has got to after they swore it had been sent out multiple times, they now say the stove was never sent and I'm not entitled to one.
2 years full subscription are needed to qualify and as I paid by cheque for 12 months, the free gift is waived. Those who paid by card, expect another subscription charge to be taken next year.
I'm sure the application for the subscription said it was a years subscription needed? Not sure now as the original ad was sent off to them in good faith. If they had told me this on the phone a month ago, I would probably have paid by card instead.
Thoroughly peed off with Bauer Media.
Anyone else who decides to go with the free offer is advised to read the small print very carefully, and in my experience, not trust a word that they tell you.
